Simonian, Lane
Defending the land of the jaguar : a history of conservation in Mexico / Lane Simonian - Austin, TX : University of Texas Press , 1995 - 326 p. : illus. ; 23 cm
The magical and the instrumental: nature in the pre-Hispanic world The Spanish resolve: conserving resources for the crown Conservation during unfavorable times: independent Mexico until the revolution Miguel Angel de Quevedo: the apostle of the tree Conservation for the commonweal: the Cárdenas years The waning of conservation: 1940-1970 Against the tide: the conservationists' crusade For human kind and nature: the pursuit of sustainable development Reconsidering: Mexican environmental policy The green revolution: the Mexican environmental movement
Mexican conservationists have sometimes observed that it is difficult to find a country less interested in the conservation of its natural resources than is Mexico. Yet, despite a long history dedicated to the pursuit of development regardless of its environmental consequences, Mexico has an equally long, though much less developed and appreciated, tradition of environmental conservation.
